I was referred to Dr Childs by a very trusted doctor who has operated on me 6 times before. In a matter of moments, she established trust and respect with her easy and caring professional manor. I am not a patient who enjoys invasive probing and using a laryngoscope through my nose and down my throat. Having this done at least 20 times in my life doesn't make it easier. I have to admit of all of the ones done by 5 different doctors, she seemed to put me at ease more than the others.
She was quick to see what needed to be done, shared what she saw, went through how she wanted to do it and I absolutely felt I could trust her. The procedure is one I've had before and feel confident she will do a great job.
Obviously I've researched her and that readily shows she knows what she is doing. Her story, her love of singing (a recorded professional, I should add) and that she's an Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery shows she takes her work as a Laryngologist seriously and personally. I really appreciate she is affiliated with the VA Heath Care system as well.
Now the rest is up to me to follow her instructions. read more
